Tanaya Shanette Goins, 32, of San Gabriel, California, was shot and killed at her apartment in the 5100 block of Rosemead Boulevard on March 5, 2015. Deputies from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department responded to an assault with a deadly weapon call about 6:40 a.m. and found Goins with gunshot wounds; she was pronounced dead at the scene at 6:50 a.m. Her 13-year-old son was also struck by gunfire and survived with non-life-threatening injuries.

Investigators tied the shooting to a family dispute. Tanaya’s brother, Johnny Goins, was identified as the suspect and was arrested the same day. Johnny allegedly armed himself with a revolver, approached Tanaya’s apartment and fired multiple shots through the front door and a window, fatally wounding Tanaya and injuring her son.

The case underscores how family violence and unresolved disputes can escalate to deadly outcomes. If anyone knew Tanaya or witnessed the events around Rosemead Boulevard that morning, please share what you know with investigators.
